Slaving over a hot telescope

1/10/2011

 
Picture
More nocturnal imaging happening, this time in an effort to photograph Pluto. This distant little object (it takes light about 4 hours to reach us from it) needs a large telescope for you to see it visually, but it can be photographed with a much smaller instrument. Pressing the Zeiss refractor into service again - I'm getting a taste for it now - I managed to record Pluto over the last 2 nights. See the results here.

    I take photographs, sometimes with obsolete technology. I look at the night sky. I drink coffee, and whisky (Scotch, or possibly Irish). I read and sometimes write. I Tweet, occasionally (@ozalba). I might ruminate and fulminate from time to time.
